Thankx everyone for the quick responses.
All of our 1.4.2 are showing client and our 1.5.0 are showing server,
not sure how that happened.
For those asking about RMI, I'm not sure what that is. The application
is Windchill, I'll have to ask the application folks if they know.
For those asking about stats, do you mean the PrintGCStats output at the
end of the email?
Thankx again, it is greatly appreciated.

Also have you tried -server (instead of the client jvm you are using) to
see if & by how much it improves performance of the application? (once
you've eliminated the RMI-induced GC's as stated below).
